My Idle System

[First Slot - Trading - 20:10:30/24:00:00]

Calming himself even further, he received the Idle accumulation.

[You have received 240 Experience]

[The skill Intermediate Trading had become Lv.10(98%)]

"Huh."

Looking at the number and seeing that it was still short of two percent, Christian felt frustrated again, realizing he had made a miscalculation, and the skill still hadn\'t advanced.

"Maybe it\'s really not my day today," he thought to himself.

With this in mind, and knowing there was nothing more he could do, Christian calmed himself down and began killing time by doing whatever he could find.

Of course, he didn\'t forget to receive the accumulation from the other Idle Practicing slots.

By the time night fell, Christian was in his room, sitting on his chair, receiving the trading accumulation once again.

[You have received 80 Experience]

[The skill Intermediate Trading had passed the caped level and become Advanced Trading Lv.1(1%)]

\'Finally.\'

While feeling happy inside that it had finally reached the advanced level, Christian felt a little disappointed when he saw that nothing had changed except for the prefix.

So he tried to digest the recent information once more, this time slowly and carefully, and finally, he truly noticed a difference.

Christian now had an instinctive feeling, one shaped by his current knowledge of trading, with the help of the idle system, he had developed something akin to it.

Previously, he had experienced a similar feeling that he needed more material for the Idle Practicing when he had just started with trading. But at that time, the information he was receiving had begun to dwindle, and the percentage increase of the skill was a little slower, that why it helped him notice. But this time, the feeling was more accurate and comprehensive.

He realized the level the skill could finally reach with the current trading materials he had, and he was surprised by what he discovered.

Even with everything he had, the maximum level possible now was three. In reality, it might be a little higher, but even then, it would only reach four.

Knowing that he had possibly gathered everything related to trading from the internet through hacking or buying books, he realized that the Idle System rated this current knowledge as no more than that level.

It was a shocking development, especially knowing that even with all the resources available in the modern world, it still felt lacking—particularly in this kind of field.

But then he also wondered if this knowledge, or the instinctive feeling more accurately, would even be helpful in the first place. He would likely find out when he eventually hit a bottleneck in the progression of his skills after all.

Or maybe it would be useful for other skills?

Anyway, now that the trading skill had become advanced, the next day\'s experience would definitely increase significantly. That was the most important part, as the trading skill had become somewhat useless for him; or more like its level had been sufficient long ago.

Putting the Trading skill aside, Christian was also finally able to collect the $100,000 today. He even deliberated whether he should go talk to his sister, as it was the amount she had asked for.

But after a lot of contemplation, he decided against it. He didn\'t want her to make any more excuses, and he wanted to avoid another argument with her.

So he decided to wait until he had around fifty thousand more before talking to her. At that point, he could corner her as much as he wanted, and she wouldn\'t be able to reply back; she would finally stop working willingly then.

Or maybe not? But anyway, if he left her to her own devices, he felt she might wait until he was a billionaire to finally consider stopping work.

Deciding to stop thinking about the issue for now since he had made his decision, time passed, and he finally went to sleep.

…

Five days passed

Nothing of importance happened at school during these past few days. The repeated exam was very easy and he got perfect score just as easily, and although Christian had to talk with a lot of people, it became much less frequent over time.

As for the math teacher, his battered appearance had become the talk of the school, not lessening over time but increasing. Students concocted all kinds of theories and conspiracies, while the school remained silent, offering no explanation.

With one week passing, Christian thought the math teacher should have been expelled by now, yet he was still at the school, though he wasn\'t teaching anymore.

Despite everything happening around the math teacher, from the ridicule and being pointed at by students to the treatment he received from the school staff, it seemed like it couldn\'t get any worse for him. Yet, the math teacher still hadn\'t resigned, and Christian couldn\'t understand why.

While Christian felt happy and joyful seeing all these developments, he couldn\'t help but feel curious. He was initially thinking that the procedures would be much faster, especially because of the hacking incident and all the parents who had come afterward. However after a little search online, he soon learned that these kinds of matters often took a lot of time.

The procedures would take nearly a month, or possibly even longer, for the internal investigation to be completed and for him to be expelled. It wasn\'t like the assistant teacher, who had resigned on her own.

As for going to court and then to prison, that would take even more time.

Christian couldn\'t understand how this was possible, especially when it was clear that the math teacher was a criminal. But it seems the law was more for protecting criminals than the innocent.

Or could this be a special case? Christian didn\'t know, but he didn\'t care much in the first place.
